Chapter 265 Very Matching
When Venerable Xing Heng saw that the Demon Lord was willing to come to see him even though he had to bear the heavenly punishment, he felt extremely distressed and wanted to go over and bear it with him.
But the Demon Lord felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to see him suffer, so he refused.
While the two were arguing, Venerable Xing Heng felt angry and distressed, so he drew his sword and tried to forcefully join in, which eventually turned into a fight.
In order not to hurt him, the Demon Lord left Cangqiong Mountain and returned to the demon clan.
In fact, there was no such rumor originally. When the Demon Lord went to Cangqiong Mountain, the disciples and elders of Cangqiong Mountain thought that he was there to cause trouble and were worried whether a war was about to start.
But not long after, news came from Anmo City that there was unrest in the demon world, countless casualties among the demons, and the left and right protectors were almost left alone.
They all heard the angry curses of the left and right protectors outside, which included the words "Xing" and "Heng", but some of them were difficult to hear clearly.
When the news reached back to Cangqiong Mountain, some disciples started to think in the wrong way.
After all, if it wasn't intentional, who would bring the thunder to his home? Did he not want his home anymore? Then another elder accidentally revealed that his ancestor didn't even wear an outer robe when he appeared.
Even the previous visit of the Demon Lord was brought up for re-examination, and finally they felt that this was the only explanation that made sense. After all, the identities, status, and cultivation of the two people were equal, and they were a perfect match.
The Demon Lord brought the heavenly thunder back to the demon clan, especially targeting the left and right protectors, because they were the stumbling blocks in his love with Venerable Xing Heng.
This news simply shocked everyone in Cangqiong Mountain. They discussed it with each other, and were not satisfied even yet, so they shared it with friends from other sects. This kind of bloody love story was really suitable for men, women, young and old, and it quickly spread.
Coincidentally, Fan Lou heard about this and he excitedly spent a hundred taels of silver to hire someone to publicize the evil deeds of the left and right protectors.
Finally, when Chu Xinglan was confused and pulled over by Song Ling and others to be questioned, this is what he heard.
"They said that the Demon Lord felt that it was because of the left and right protectors who wanted to cause trouble every day that the demons could not live in peace with us, and the Demon Lord took it out on them."
"It's also a double-handed preparation. If he kills those two guys, he can establish peace with the human race, and then he and his ancestors might have a chance."
"If it doesn't work, the Demon Lord will take the opportunity to fake his death and hide his identity. Even if he doesn't want to be the Demon Lord, he won't give up the ancestor."
Chu Xinglan listened to Li Wen's emotional speech with an expressionless face. He just felt it was ridiculous, too ridiculous!
He was at the scene that day and he knew exactly what happened. Fan Lou was clearly struck by lightning and had no way to ask for help. He then went back to strike the left and right protectors because they were against him.
If the two men are not dealt with, the Demon Lord will never be able to truly control the demons in his own hands.
As for not wanting to be the Demon Lord, that is even more nonsense. The sword has already recognized its master, and Fan Lou is very proficient in it.
Song Ling looked at Chu Xinglan with anger and worry.
“Brother Chu, did the ancestor really bully you?”
"How can this be? It was my ancestors who insisted on being with you... and now you are playing both sides. You are such a jerk."
Li Wen was a little excited at first. She got more excited every time she told her sisters about this matter. But when she saw Chu Xinglan not saying anything, she finally realized that something was wrong, and the smile on her face became embarrassed.
"Um, Xinglan, this can't be true, right?"
"We all just treated it as a story, no one took it seriously."
Chu Xinglan pinched his brows speechlessly, and spoke after a long while.
"No, the Demon Lord did come that day, and he came to ask Master for help."
"Then Master sent him back to the demon clan. I was there at the scene."
Afterwards, he briefly explained the whole cause and effect, and everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Song Ling hurriedly patted his heart. When he first heard the rumors in the sect, he was almost scared to death.
He was afraid that Chu Xinglan was bullied, but because of his status, he couldn't say much.
Now that he knew the truth, he was truly relieved. Otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to avenge his brother. That would be too passive.
Moreover, he didn't have the courage to become an enemy of his ancestors.
Li Wen, on the other hand, was a little bored. It wasn't that she didn't care about Chu Xinglan. If the old ancestor really did such a thing, she would definitely be angry.
But compared to the well-known version, the truth is too sloppy and too boring.
If she had heard this first, she would probably have just sighed a few words and then moved on, without much interest.
Even now, Chu Xinglan still couldn't digest this outrageous rumor. He wondered what was wrong with the brain of the person who spread this rumor. It was such a waste of talent to come to cultivate immortality. He should write storybooks.
And from what they said, this matter is already known to everyone in the cultivation world, which makes him very worried.
When public opinion reaches this level, to a certain extent, it becomes an established fact recognized by everyone.
I'm afraid it won't be very effective if they clarify now, not to mention how to clarify?
Say he was with Master that day? I'm afraid someone will say he's a white flower or a green tea girl, ruining other people's relationship.
Maybe he would be put aside with his left and right protectors and be scolded by others.
Chu Xinglan thought, maybe the rumor would be even more addictive. Even if he wasn't the protagonist, he would have wanted to hear it too.
He didn't want to chat with Song Ling and the others anymore, so he just answered them casually and went back to the mountain.
As soon as I approached the courtyard, I saw the little girl sitting by the stone table, swinging her legs, and looking towards the gate from time to time.
When she saw him coming back, she jumped down happily and ran towards him.
"Brother, where have you been? I came to look for you just now but you weren't there. Didn't you want to take me out today?"
Chu Xinglan did promise Xiaotuanzi two days ago that he would take her down the mountain for a walk, but things had changed at that time and she had no intention of going out at all, not even until this matter was resolved.
Even though he knew clearly that these were all nonsense and not a single word was true, he still got angry when he heard them.
Master probably doesn’t know about it now, and even if he does, he probably won’t care. After all, Master never explained what happened to Feng Yao.
Thinking of this, Chu Xinglan became even more depressed. It was obvious that he and his master were a match made in heaven and were a perfect match.
What's so good about that mentally ill guy Fan Lou? Those people are simply blind.
Little Dumpling watched Chu Xinglan's expression change again and again, and spoke in a conflicted manner.
"Brother, you can't go today?"
